Rationale: This project stems from chapter $8$ from your textbook $($Interpersonal Negotiation$),$ as well as Getting to Yes, which you have been reading this semester for this course. This goals for this project are to help you improve your interpersonal collaborative negation skills and also to help you analyze them as well. There are two parts to this assignment, a pre$-$negotiation analysis, and a post$-$negotiation analysis. In order to receive full credit, please address each question completely, which should usually be about a paragraph per question $($although feel free to write more if you wish!$).$

Directions: Choose one interpersonal relationship that you currently have with an adult $($someone who is least $18$ years of age$)$ that you think could benefit from collaborative negotiation. Examples of this could be$,$ but are not limited to$,$ parents, step$-$parents, grandparents, children, step$-$children, siblings, extended family members, in$-$laws, friends, neighbors, etc. This should be someone who you have a significant interpersonal relationship with. With this particular individual in mind, you are to address part one $($pre$-$negotiation$),$ and then you will be carrying out this negotiation with that individual $($part two$).$

Part Two $(50$ points$)$

This section is designed to help you analyze your negotiation after your interaction with the other person. Negotiation is never perfect, and assuredly there are some aspects of the negotiation that went well, some that went better than others, while other areas have room $($perhaps a lot$)$ for improvement.
